Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 261/18,638/4955
Formula to find GCF of Fractions is
GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators
As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators
In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 261,638
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 261,638 is 29 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 18,4955 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 18,4955 is 89190 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 261,638
29 | 261, 638 |
9, 22 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 29 = 29
Factors of 261
List of positive integer factors of 261 that divides 261 without a remainder.
1,3,9,29,87,261
Factors of 638
List of positive integer factors of 638 that divides 638 without a remainder.
1,2,11,22,29,58,319,638
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 261,638 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 261,638 is 29.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,4955
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 89190
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 29/89190
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 261/18,638/4955 is 29/89190
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 18,4955 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,4955) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(18,4955) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(18,4955) = ( 18 × 4955 ) / 1
LCM(18,4955) = 89190 / 1
LCM(18,4955) = 89190
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
